Abstract

Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD) is the major cause of demise in many developed countries. In order to convert a city into smart city, the well-being of humanity is of extreme importance. Numerous factors have raised to this horrible condition, some of them are; inadequate exercise, unhealthy diet, lifestyle, smoking and environmental pollution including industrial effluent and vehicle tail emission. Higher concentration of air contamination adversely affects people with the respiratory disorder and other kinds of lungs and cardiac disease. Growth in medicine and health care technology is the backbone for transforming the city to smart city. CAD is one of the majorly observed heart diseases in India and it is distinguished by the settling of greasy ingredients on arteries wall causes swelling, widening and hardening that results in an obstruction of blood flow through artery wall. This paper reviewed the risk and current status, impact of the environment on the heart and its various way to cure. Angioplasty is another technique to unblock the artery vessel using different kinds of stent and is being extensively used in the medication of CAD.
